In a patent-driven market, using the concept of minimum efficient scale of production, explain what would happen to competiton and to price when the patent expires?

I don't see how I can interweave the minimum efficient scale of production into this question. I know that if the patent expires, competition will increase and the price will drop to the average total cost. Any ideas?
